Funded Apr 7, 2022Thank you so much for your support of our Game Club! It has added a whole new dimension of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to playing games together.
Students at our school have loved the social aspect of multiplayer games, such as Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Octodad, and Overcooked 2. These cooperative games require players to work together to defeat aliens and overcome challenges, be a good dad to your kids while secretly being an octopus, and cook delicious meals, respectively.
We have also been able to use our new equipment to support initiatives such as Summer Reading (giving students the opportunity to play and download Tell Me Why for free as well as take home brand new books) and Icebreakers for the First Days of School in which students could meet new classmates while playing the fun, cooperative archery game Towerfall: Ascension.
Lastly, through your generous donation, we were also able to launch a six-week eSports program where students could explore NBA2K and Rocket League and build their skills, confidence, and communication as a team.
Thanks again for your contribution to Game Club and we look forward to utilizing this hardware in more amazing programs this school year!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Knowlton
